Ladies and gentlemen. Patriots all! Good evening!

Allen Philosophy
As many of you know, I grew up in a coach’s family. As such, I was raised on the four Fs of Life: Faith, Family, Freedom and Football!

But I say, remember Ronald Reagan who changed all the dynamics of the Cold War, which went on for nearly fifty years. Reagan didn’t think you could appease, co-exist, and accommodate the Soviet Union. He changed the dynamics in favor of the advancement of freedom. And now, because of Ronald Reagan—along with Margaret Thatcher and Pope John Paul the Second—there are millions of people in Central and Eastern Europe who were locked behind that Iron Curtain, who are now tasting that sweet nectar of liberty, and they are our friends and allies. He persevered, and freedom prevailed.

Today, because of Ronald Reagan, there are literally hundreds of millions of people who were once locked behind the Iron Curtain living in countries we now know as free countries--Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, former East Germany, Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, and added countries such as Ukraine and Georgia, which are now tasting that sweet nectar of liberty as opposed to being behind the Iron Curtain.

Today, thanks to Ronald Reagan, as I saw Ambassadors on
the House floor from Lithuania, from Romania, throughout Central
Europe--those were hundreds of millions of people who were behind the
Iron Curtain. But, thanks to Ronald Reagan's perseverance, for his
belief in the dignity of all human beings, that all people do yearn to
be free, to exercise their God-given rights, those people who were
behind that Iron Curtain, who were enemies, are now tasting that sweet
nectar of liberty.

2. That's some of the funniest shit I've read in a long time

I wish I would have known this, that one time I met him

4. It's my standard response to Allen threads

I heard him say it on C-Span and googled it to see if had heard him correctly only to find out that this is his favorite saying apparently.

I actually did run into him a few years ago at the UVa Tech game in C'ville. We were waiting in line for our willcall tickets and I saw him coming out of the stadium, security guard letting him out. He was in his UVa striped tie and blue blazer I said to him as he passed "Hey Senator as usual you are going the wrong way the game is in there" He shot me a dirty look.

3. He and Katherine Harris should campaign together on horseback.

NOT. Gawd...he looks stupid. Isn't he from CA and a pseudo-neo-confederate racist>

In VA, the upper classes ride to the hounds. They most definitely do not herd cattle. What an idiot.
